ok how about stem cells. they go back about 100 years but they just became contraversial. yea this goes into cloning a little but not really. first stem cells was called something like lycocytes (not spelled right) in the back bone used to cure some diseases. then in the 50's it was found to help cure come caners. in the early 90s it was discovered that stem cell were what was helping to cure cancer by becoming new cells. the problem is not about stems cells really but about how to research them. umbiblicords or fetuses. you can go into a lot of when can you say a thing is a thing with a soul or if their is a soul.
another topic could be the discovery of physics or atomic physics. this would be a great epistemology topic. for ethics a topic could be should we continue to delve into basic building block of the univers, or the dangers of this kind of research ie atomic bomb(not that i am anti tech). metaphysics is simple is what we are studing really the reality that we live in? this way you can put in a lot of acient greek philosopher quotes to fill up your page. although not to sure when newton discovered physics. might be just out side of 200 years. then i would take the atomic physics stand point.
i have a few more ideas so if you need more topics just ask. if you get stumped for philosophers to quote i can give you some great ones to look up.
